Fast-paced and full of action
THE FAE KING is the fourth book in the Beyond The Mist series and we have a prophecy, a light fae King, a dark fae princess, and a mad elf prince!

This is an action-packed story that goes from enemies to lovers, sort of. Trevan and Amber don't actually hate each other - or at least, not until Trevan acts like a jerk as he allows his fears to reign. Their families have a bad history, with both sides at fault. They hate the thought of each other, and their actions out of fear only seem to compound that. It takes the mad elf prince and the prophecy to turn their hate to love and, once it does, they are unstoppable.

Fast-paced and smoothly flowing, this story skims across the surface, leaving me wanting more. I loved seeing the brothers, Storm, and Harper and want to see how the kingdom fares going forward.

I enjoyed this read and think it certainly adds to the series. It can be read as a standalone, but it makes more sense to have read them in order. Definitely recommended by me.

Netflix and chill?? I find it more Netflix and stress out about having nothing to watch.
I find this a tricky one. Although finding a series can be quite easy the selection available is pretty poor. One minute your watching your favourite series and the next it's not available right as your about to finish it.
Want to watch a super retro film?? Don't bother. At Christmas you cannot get The nightmare before Christmas, the Grinch or elf. I mean that's pretty standard for Xmas viewing right?? ??
However with 2 kids there's usually something they can watch, and the Netflix original series are usually really good to watch.

MY CHRISTMAS REINDEER is part of the A Reindeer Mate for Christmas series, and features Fallon, a mathematical genius non-flying omega reindeer shifter, and Keir, the alpha elf in charge of ground control for Santa. Fallon was abandoned as a baby, adopted and raised by an elf family. When the story starts, he's working in the dollmaking workshop, but he isn't happy. He wants to work for ground control, where his maths and physics can really fly.

The relationship between these two was both fast-paced and slow-burning! Fallon pushes Keir with his mathematical equations, and Keir is more than happy with that. He goes out of his way to ensure Fallon is comfortable, in a purely professional sense, of course. That all changes when Fallon goes into heat the day before Christmas Eve. Keir can't leave him to deal with it by himself, and the connection that forms is deep.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, especially the 'human' jealousies, rivalries, and emotions that show up throughout. Both Keir and Fallon change as this story moves on, and I loved how they both did their jobs, even when the going was tough. How Fallon managed to work while Kier was... erm... helping, I'll never know!

A great Christmassy read that I thoroughly enjoyed and definitely recommend.
